Das Elsaß, Land zwischen Rhein und Vogesen, ist Grenzland und damit Paradiesapfel und Zankapfel zugleich. Es ist eingebettet zwischen zwei nationalen Sprachen und Kulturen. Die Menschen, die hier leben, heißen Müller oder Meyer, Dupont oder Durrive. Von ihnen und dem Leben im »Land dazwischen« erzählen zahlreiche Autoren vom Mittelalter bis in die Neuzeit, darunter Yvan Goll, Tomi Ungerer, Hans Arp, René Schickele und Jean Paul Sartre. Darüber hinaus laden die Herausgeber am Schluß des Bandes zu drei Wanderungen durch die Vogesen ein, beschreiben sehenswerte Stationen der Romanischen Straße und der Elsässischen Weinstraße und nennen hilfreiche Adressen für den Elsaßreisenden.

Untitled III
This is Street Art
by Gary Shove
We have previously claimed that Street Art is the most important art movement of our time. It was a deliberately provocative thing to say and we remain unapologetic for it. Is Street Art an extension and evolution of Graff or a corruption of Graff's pure rebel yell into an easy to swallow rebel lifestyle? This is Street Art. Make up your own mind.

The Menial Art of Cooking
Archaeological Studies of Cooking and Food Preparation
by Sarah R. Graff (Editor) , Enrique Rodriguez-Alegria (Editor)
Although the archaeology of food has long played an integral role in our understanding of past cultures, the archaeology of cooking is rarely integrated into models of the past. The cooks who spent countless hours cooking and processing food are overlooked and the forgotten players in the daily lives of our ancestors. The Menial Art of Cooking shows how cooking activities provide a window into other aspects of society and, as such, should be taken seriously as an aspect of social, cultural, political, and economic life. This book examines techniques and technologies of food preparation, the spaces where food was cooked, the relationship between cooking and changes in suprahousehold economies, the religious and symbolic aspects of cooking, the relationship between cooking and social identity, and how examining foodways provides insight into social relations of production, distribution, and consumption. Contributors use a wide variety of evidence-including archaeological data; archival research; analysis of ceramics, fauna, botany, glass artifacts, stone tools, murals, and painted ceramics; ethnographic analogy; and the distribution of artifacts across space-to identify signs of cooking and food processing left by ancient cooks. The Menial Art of Cooking is the first archaeological volume focused on cooking and food preparation in prehistoric and historic settings around the world and will interest archaeologists, social anthropologists, sociologists, and other scholars studying cooking and food preparation or subsistence.
